Throughout the world, Thure (Thure , Туре , ثير ) is a rare principally male, but very infrequently female given name. The forename Thure is characteristic of Sweden, where it is quite a rare male name, Kazakhstan, where it is a rare epicene name, and Finland, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Sweden, Kazakhstan, and Germany. Also, Thure is the last name as well as the forename.
Thure is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Tam Sventon , the fictional private detective based in Stockholm and Tore Gudmarsson .
